Quartermass and the Pit - perfect sci-fi noir. One of my favourite films. Don't remember the telly series, though. Then again, we didnae hae a telly until 1963. Coin operated.

How could I have forgotten Savine? Daisy May always looked like a little sod pretending to be a little angel! And the dog was brilliant!Going musical, anybody remember Eve Boswell, Diana Decker, and the whistler, Ronnie Ronalde?

In the days of light entertainment there seemed to be random acts such as Winifred Attwell at the honky-tonk piano and a very thin chap who would squeeze himself, doubled over, into an upright tube until just his bottom was sticking out, wiggle it, then disappear into the tube.Oh! How things have changed.
